This group exhibition aims to reimagine breath as more than a biological act.
Silent Systems: Breathing Devices (29th Made in Prague Festival)This group exhibition curated by British curator Daré Dada, gathers works by Appau Junior Boakye-Yiadom, Filomena Borecká, Esther Gaton, Evar Hussanyi and Henrique Paris to reimagine breath as more than a biological act.
Breathing becomes rhythm and pulse, presence and absence, the invisible measure of life that extends beyond the body into objects, spaces, and systems. It invites viewers to ask: What is a breath of a city, a machine, a material archive? How might breathing become a metaphor for cultural memory, ecological interdependence, or technological survival? Filomena Borecká’s practice, attuned to the subtle energies of air and time, anchors the exhibition’s meditation on breath as both force and metaphor. Here, stillness is unsettled: objects expand and contract, silent systems exhale, and the unseen currents of existence ripple quietly through matter, inviting us to reconsider our entanglement with the material world. The works gathered here challenge the presumed stillness of things, offering instead an ecology of quiet urgencies, of devices that hold air, circulate energy, or embody invisible rhythms.
